The sharp drop triggered by August CPI had yet to settle, but the community’s “Merge Night” was close. People were still shaken, yet the Merge continued as planned and watchers across the network followed the countdown. The selloff had not stopped the transition schedule, and the community now had concrete things to observe while it waited.

The sharp drop triggered by August CPI had yet to settle, but the community’s “Merge Night” was close. The Night Watchman faced two streams of messages: some asked about prices, others worried whether the technical transition might stall.
People were still shaken, yet the Merge continued as planned and watchers across the network followed the countdown. The Night Watchman split questions in the watch thread into market and operations topics. He asked technically knowledgeable members to explain what to watch for in block production and applications, and reminded others that a countdown was no promise about price.
The selloff had not stopped the transition schedule, and the community now had concrete things to observe while it waited. The Night Watchman planned to keep the discussion orderly at the crucial moment, while A-Zhen continued to follow the technical process. No one could yet confirm how the system would run after the switch.
